Its been a few weeks since my old Man Oscar was PTS, I should have came on earlier and feel guilty that I didn't but I have been dealing with his sick brother Edgar for the last few months and I guess the prospect of losing them both so close together is too hard to bear.
So My old Man Oscar - I miss you greatly and hope you wait for me at the rainbow bridge. Edgar will be with you soon it seems - so you can keep each other company like you always did.
:( :( :( :(

Aw, sorry to hear your sad news. How old was he?
RIP Oscar.
-
So sorry :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
Dont feel guilty, somethings take time and a loss is so hard :hug: :hug:
Please let me know which month Oscar went to the Bridge so he can be put on the roll of honour that will be published next week
RIP Oscar, you have left a purr in your meowmys heart

The Greatest Gift
I always knew this time would come,
From the very instant our eyes first met.
How I loved you then! How I love you now!
I made a promise then, and I will keep that promise now...
You will not suffer from a pain that will not heal;
You will not know the loss of a life remembered, now gone.
It is for me alone to make this decision,
The price for the bright joy and pure laughter
You brought me during the time we shared.
I am the only one who can decide when it is time.
When my hope dies, and my fear rides high,
Just when I need you most, I must let you go.
It is for you alone to tell me when you are ready
For without your guidance, I will not know
When to lay my grief, my guilt, my anger
My sorrow and my selfish heart aside
And give you this last gift, this greatest gift.
Your eyes will speak to mine, and I will know.
The pain of this moment is excruciating.
Tears stream down my face in a river of sorrow.
And my heart drowns in a pool of grief.
For you have spoken and I have listened,
And unlike other decisions I have made
This one brings no relief...no comfort...no peace.
For if there´s one thing you´ve taught me,
If there´s only one thing I´ve learned...
Unconditional love has a condition after all,
I must be willing to let you go, when you speak to me
I must be willing to help you go, if you cannot go alone.
And I must accept my pain so you can be free of yours.
Go easily now, go quickly now,
Do not linger here, it is time for you to leave.
Go find your strength, go find your youth.
Go find the ones who've gone before you.
You are free to leave me now, free to let your spirit soar
Rest easy now, your pain will soon be gone.
I pray I will find comfort in my memories...
In the dark and lonely days ahead.
I cannot say I will not miss you, I cannot say I will not cry.
For only my tears can heal my broken heart.
But, I promise you this; as long as I live,
You will live, alive in my mind, forever in my heart.
So I give you this last gift, all I have left to give,
And this will be my greatest gift...sending you away.
It is the measure of my unconditional love...
For only the greatest love can say,
"Good-bye, go find the bridge, we'll meet again,
Loving you has been the greatest gift of all."
Forever and Always... Until Rainbow bridge....

Aw, sorry to hear your sad news. How old was he?
RIP Oscar.
I call him my old man - he was only 15 although the Vet's theory was always that he was older than that as I took him on from a rescue.

Oh old Man Oscar - missing you and Edgar tonight. Looking at old photos of you both - when I look at those photos I appreciate just how much you weren't yourself anymore and it was time to go. I hope your both playing safe on the bridge

I know it probably seems unbelievable now, but one day you will be able to look back at photos of them and feel happiness at the wonderful times you shared, the sadness gradually becomes a distant memory :hug: :hug: :hug:
